** 10 Goodgymers took to the streets, banged out a 3k run, and smashed the task at Living Under One Sun**
shouts out to Marghe and Tori who joined us for their first GoodGym session
First up was Damien this week he was closely followed by the rest of the gang minus a few regulars but we also welcomed two newbies. Huge shouts out to Marghe and Tori who joined us for their first GoodGym session. After some chitter chatter we headed outside for our briefing and warm up which was very much needed as the cold weather seemed to set in last night.
we had our hands free to get mulching dig out the patch
Briefing and warm up done we headed out in the direction of Tottenham Hale to complete the first leg of this weeks distance of 3k. On arrival we were met by one of the task owners Gail. After a brief intro Gail got us loaded up with some wood slates, wheelbarrows of mulch before leading us through the allotments to a new patch we’d be creating for a new user. It’s only when you’re inside that you really see the expanse. The thought of all the good veg that’s come out of that place dawned on me. One pile of wood shifted and a long walk to the plot behind us we had our hands free to get mulching dig out the patch. Everyone worked away really hard here and we managed to dig out and shift two huge piles of earth.
We said our goodbyes to Gail; high fived then set off en route for KFC and some dips
Unfortunately we had run out of time so began to pack away. Gail was chuffed, as we were, to have gotten through so much in so little time. We gathered up all tools etc and made the long walk back through the allotments to the front entrance. We said our goodbyes to Gail; high fived then set off en route for KFC and some dips… Reverse dips that is =) those done we headed back up to HQ for a fitness session outside the Bernie Grant centre then warm down before heading our separate ways.
Shouts out to Tori for the Pun ;-) (you're up next week Vic!)
